Hello and welcome to my page. Here you will find reviews of apps that I am looking at for this course.

Week 1: Medscape []

Medscape is a free downloadable iphone app that can be downloaded from the itunes store. I have this app and use it as a clinical reference when I need to look up a new drug or procedure. This app can also be downloaded onto the iPod touch. A benefit on Medscape is that this app not only provides prescribed drugs but herbal and over the counter medications as well as supplements. In rural Appalachia, we have a large amount of patients who self treat and self medicate. This app allows the health care professional or the lay person a chance to understand what drug they are taking as well as how it may potentially interact with other medications they are on. This app also allows for over 4000 disease and conditions. There are images and descriptions. This app has over 600 clinical procedures as well as protocols that are a great reference tool. There is a direct search area on the screen to take you to exactly what you are looking for. Health care workers are required to maintain their skills and stay up to date this app allows for continual education credits to help meet that requirement. One other valuable area is the professional directories. One could access over 460,000 health care providers from this app. [|Rated 4+]
